Oh, I thought he was asking about game analysis.
If he doesn't know what percentile is, I guess he's 10 years old...
percentile is how good you are. For example if your percentile is 100 you are the best about of 100 and if you are 0 you are the worst.

It’s a statistical term meaning each of the hundred (equal) groups a population can be divided according to the distribution of values of a particular variable. In other words, split every one into a hundred groups the same size, based on Chess.com rating. Then see which group you are in. If, for example, 87, then you are better than or equal to 87% of the chess.com population, and worse than 13%.
